Playing skill is not quantified by the technical difficulty of what you're playing, otherwise Guitar Pro would be the best player on the planet (plays exactly at tempo, plays whatever you throw at it without mistakes, etc

It's HOW you play it. The tone, dynamics, phrasing, thought, and interpretation in your playing.

CS its better for you to get a bit civilized...playing a few solos of some songs just don't make you a guitar player...its how you play...you'll be called a good guitar player only when you have respect for other guitar players.
If you can you make yr own stuff like...riffs writing lyrics..writing solos(which i DOUBT you cannot) etc...then you'll be a reputed guitar player..playing some shit some other band makes...will lead you no where.

Dude, in complete contradiction to your standard, I've never completed a composition of my own, can't improvise to save my life, and have only done what others (composers) have wrote. PLUS I look down upon plectrum guitarists (there goes the 'respect other players' clause).
